Help identifying model?

I have a 2011 g37 that I recently purchased. The trunk was shaved with no badges and the Carfax says "2011 Infiniti G37 BASE/SPORT."

I didn't see a big issue in not knowing exactly what model the car was because it had the features I wanted.

However, I am in the process of ordering drilled and slotted brake rotors and it appears that the model could effect which rotors to get.

Any help in identifying the model of my car?

PS- Any suggestions on brands of rotors?

Pics of car would help.

Check for brakes like this: (that is sport package)



Also check for paddle shifters: (also part of sport package)



Wheels and other parts are also part of the Sport Package.

Vented 14" fronts with painted 4-pin Akebono calipers, vented 13.8" rears with painted 2-pin Akebono calipers.

The only thing OEM in Alfredo's picture is the caliper... not the rusty slotted & drilled rotor, and not that Vossen CV1 wheel.

There were only 3 models: AWD, Journey and 6MT.

If you have a manual transmission, then you have the G37S 6MT, which is its own model.

If it's AWD, and you have flappy paddles, sport seats, 18" wheels and extended side sills... then it's a G37xS. Otherwise, it's just a G37x. Either way... small, standard brakes.

If it's RWD, and you have flappy paddles, sport seats, 18" staggered wheels, extended side sills, limited slip diff, big brakes, a sport tuned suspension and steering... then it's a G37S (Journey with Sport Package). Otherwise, it's just a G37 (Journey).

You must have purchased this car in a hurry, with absolutely zero research. That's weird.

Those where my exact first thoughts. Not even a quick google search while in the dealer.

Thanks Everyone

Thanks for everyone's help.

I was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention because it really is my wife's car. All she cared about was push button start and a sunroof. Her lease on her Altima was up and I preferred her to get a car that I could enjoy driving when I had to. So I quickly got her in the Infiniti because it was just like her Altima but a lot nicer and faster.

Honestly, now I like driving the G more than I do my vette.

The easiest way to tell if you have AWD is to look for a toggle switch near the cup holder (between seat heat *****) labelled "snow". If it's there, you have AWD.
